In the lobby of Pingyang Mansion, a flying crane-shaped incense burner burned a piece of sandalwood, and green smoke slowly rose from the mouth of the flying crane, curling up.
Fei Qian slowly sipped the tea, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
Wang Yi, who was sitting opposite Fei Qian, had a grimace on his face, as if the bowl of tea soup was like poison. He picked it up and put it down again. After repeating it several times, he finally said: "Fei Hou
...I really have no choice... Yang Gong is powerful and is close to the east of the river. What can I do if I find my place?"
When Fei Qian heard this, he put down his tea bowl, nodded slightly, and hummed.
Wang Yi looked at Fei Qian's expression carefully, and then looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't see what Fei Qian was thinking, and he didn't know what Fei Qian meant by saying "hmm"...
"Feihou..." Wang Yi said cautiously, "...if not...a certain Hedong still has some money and food, this...is willing to help Feihou enter the capital, this...30,000 shi...is it okay?"
"Oh?" Fei Qian smiled and continued drinking tea.
The fat on Wang Yi's face shook, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "Fifty thousand, fifty thousand stones!"
Fei Qian coughed and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is a major matter for the country. How can we balance it with a mere loan of money?"
"Eighty thousand! Eighty thousand stones!" Wang Yi said with a sad face, "...Feihou, I was confused for a while, please spare me this time?"
Fei Qian stared at Wang Yi expressionlessly, his eyes so sharp that the beads of sweat on Wang Yi's head broke out one by one and fell down his cheeks.
Guessing that the fire was almost done, Fei Qian withdrew his gaze and said leisurely: "In that case, let's just follow the king's words...a hundred thousand stones...if the emperor knows about it, he will be relieved that the prince is loyal to the country.
It’s endless…”
"One hundred thousand stones?!" Wang Yi almost didn't choke on his own saliva, but in the end he trembled his cheeks twice, acquiesced to the number, and said, "...Tomorrow Duke Yang will set off, and I will return to Hedong...
I wish Feihou good news soon..."
Fei Qian nodded, smiled, and said, "If you don't let me down, I won't let you down. I wish you the best, so I won't send you off."
Wang Yi Weiwei responded, said goodbye and left the lobby, then wiped the sweat from his head and left in a hurry.
Fei Qian looked at Wang Yi's back and shook his head slightly.
Although Wang Yi is groveling now, he seems to be weak and can be bullied, but he is mostly pretending. In fact, Wang Yi's behavior just means that he has compromised to a certain extent, as if he still lent Yang Biao some Hedong money.
Just like soldiers and horses.
One hundred thousand stones of food and grass was a bit of a pressure for Wang Yi or Hedong, but it was precisely this that showed Fei Qian's attitude of being willing to let this matter go, so Wang Yi gritted his teeth and accepted it.
If Fei Qian had said lightly and with a smile that this matter was nothing to worry about, Wang Yi would definitely not believe it 100% and would have run away immediately, always ready to fight Fei Qian.
And falling out with Wang Yi in Hedong?
Just like Wang Yi doesn't want to fall out with him, this is a temporary compromise.
After all, Pingyang is not far from Anyi, and Wang Yi handed over some county soldiers to Yang Biao on the other hand, and secretly promised to give Fei Qian money and food. In addition to showing the two-sided nature of being a loser, it was actually a sufficient
The use of such measures indicates the harmless nature of Hedong.
Now that Hedong needs soldiers and horses, but there are no soldiers and horses, and it needs money and food, but there is no extra money and food, then naturally the threat to both Yang Biao and Fei Qian has been greatly reduced, and naturally no one will pay attention to it.
If you go to him, you won't get much benefit, but if you leave him alone, you will get more benefits. Therefore, this situation is undoubtedly the best choice for Wang Yi, who just wants to be a local bully in Hedong...
…
For Fei Qian, it is also an acceptable result. Although this guy has many relapses, he is currently unable to free his hands.
Even with the support of the Wang family in Taiyuan and other Bingzhou people, it does not mean that Fei Qian can fight on multiple fronts. Yinshan in the north still needs to continue to supplement manpower for defense, and operations against Chang'an in the south are to be launched. If he and Wang Yi in Hedong are again
If there is a falling out, it may be on the verge of collapse.
It was precisely because of this consideration that Fei Qian did not push Yang Biao and Huangfu Song too hard in the end, leaving some room for them.
Surrounding three and missing one, this kind of thing in the art of war, is also practical today.
Judging from the current situation, it is not impossible to force Yang Biao and Huangfu Song to stand high and force them to march into Chang'an together, but overall the harm will outweigh the benefits.
We all struggled with each other once and there was some friction, but there is really no need to become mortal enemies for the time being.
Although it is said that in the chaos of the army, it is not too complicated to eliminate enemy characters, but it is best not to do things that lower the limit like this, otherwise it will be a stain that cannot be washed away.
The most important thing is that such a thing goes against the image that Fei Qian needs to maintain.
Now in the Northland, Fei Qian is now a representative of justice, whether in front of barbarians or in front of the gentry's children. Although he may seem a bit vindictive, he does not violate the guiding ideology of Confucius to repay the direct.
So it’s quite positive…
Well, at least in the eyes of some people it's okay.
Although Fei Qian did have the idea of killing Yang Biao and Huangfu Song forever at a certain moment, he gave up in the end. After all, he would rather use intrigue than conspiracy, so he simply parted ways with Yang Biao and Huangfu Song.
.
This was the subtext behind Fei Qian's statement that he wanted to lead another army down from the Diao Yin.
Obviously under the current situation, Yang Biao and Huangfu Song could only admit it with their noses pinched.
Although for Fei Qian, Yang Biao and Huangfu Song may cause some trouble for him in the future, but this can only be the case now. They can't kill each other for a while. If they are forced to be together, no matter Fei Qian
It's still Yang Biao, I'm afraid he will always be wary of the other party betraying his teammates.
So Fei Qian decided to give it up with Yang Biao and Huangfu Song. Anyway, this golden sign of "a gentleman should be Hongyi", whether it is Fei Qian himself or Yang Biao and Huangfu Song, in the next period of time, at least among the sons of this noble family,
Before the heat of the discussion subsides, it must be carefully maintained.
Fei Qian stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, walked slowly outside the hall, looked up at the sky, and exhaled a long breath.
Although the matter in front of me has come to an end, the days ahead may not be easy. The road ahead is still quite long, and I don’t know where it will eventually lead.
Scholars must be ambitious, the responsibilities are heavy and the road ahead is long...
